Newsletter - May 2016

We hope you have been keeping warm through winter’s first big southerly blast this week.

This month’s newsletter begins with an article by Benje Patterson looking at why regional decision makers should not overly rely on GDP and how they can more effectively measure the well-being of individuals and the productive capacity of their area.
